Whipsnade Park Golf Club

First time playing today after years of thinking I should and what a fab course, nothing gimmicky, a good test of golf, and the condition was superb, greens fast, true, but fair and fairways in magnificent condition. I have 2 criticisms(suggestions), they need ball cleaners and new handles in the rakes(I got a splinter off one of them).Over all a fab course in fab condition...Go and play it

I was very pleasantly surprised by this course. Wasn't sure what to expect, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely be playing it again. It's a very fair challenge, with good quality greens. Only surprise is that it wasnt very busy.

Course in good condition considering the weather. Nice bar that serves food and is happy to take cash.

As a member of another club I played here for the first time on the reciprocal golf scheme and was very impressed with the course. The fairways were nice and lush and greens were quite fast. Lovely clubhouse with great staff. Will definitely return soon.

Played Whipsnade for the first time on Friday 22nd Sept with my eldest son. We were both very surprised after travelling along some very narrow lanes to find such a lovely course with practice areas and a lovely converted building into a clubhouse / bar / restuarante. Booked online as a 2 ball and had a great deal teeing off at 3.30pm. However when asking if we could T off early (as it didnt appear busy) the reception was a little offhand and we were curtly told that we had to wait and play with 2 other people as a 4 ball and that was why we had such a good Green Fee.!!! I recommend that this should be made clear at the point of online booking. However we waited and the guys didnt turn up the obligatory 5 mins before T time so we followed a single player and had a great round of golf despite the heavens opening up when we got to the 2nd T. Thunder and lightning imediately overhead but there was no siren - so we played on and it was great that we did. The round consisted of sunshine and showers and some brilliant golf by my son James. The holes are all individual tree lined fairways so you were immersed in the hole you are playing. 5 x par 5's, 9 x par 4's - 5 of which are close to 400yds, 4 x par 3's over a course yardage of 6393.We played the front nine in 1.1/2 hrs and the back nine in 1.3/4 hrs helped in part by James' great scoring. Playing off 8 and only 6 times a year he carded a Gross 3 over 76 dragging his old Dad along for the ride. Overall a great golf course, nicely maintained with very good consistant greens. Fairways are lovely and soft underfoot (grass - not wet soil) so the ball is sat up nicely.I would totally recommend any one in the area to come and play the course. I play for our Seniors team and travel to many golf courses and this stands well above many that I have played.My only other recomendation is that the scorecard is available online. Whilst the video is great most golfers love to view the card before we decide to play a course.

Dropped in for old times sake but it was quiet so came away again

Really nice golf course, nice wide fairways, with lots of trees, not too exposed to the wind. Barn style club house and small pro shop, with small open driving range. Nice golf club all round.

Couldn't be more welcoming, excellent breakfast, good course and very good staff.. looking forward to going back.

Considering we just experienced storm Eunice the course was well maintained. Pro shop staff was polite and welcoming, large putting green, lovely practice chipping area and could see the practice range was well maintained as well. Changing room is very spacious and clean which is a massive plus. Although when I tried to turn on the shower the water was running cold. I did let it run and for a few minutes as well. At the bar it was also clean, staff was friendly and there was a nice fire burning which made it very cosy to sit and relax. One thing I felt was that each hole did feel very similar to each other which can be quite mundane as your going round 18 holes. With that said, fairways are very wide and welcoming. If you’re a big hitter, this is a great course as there are quite a few 3-400 yard par 4s and 5s. Would recommend and visit again
